In Madonna's song "Like a Prayer", am I the only one who chuckles at the line "I'm down on my knees/ I want to take you there"? That line can have a bit of a double meaning, don't you think? I mean... she's down on her knees... and she wants to take me there? Anyone who's got a dirty mind can see where I'm going with this. ::)

That song also supposedly has another message when played backwards. Something to do with Satan. Go to a site called www.backmaskonline.com you might find it on there. the most famous (or imfamous) instance of backmasking is in Led Zeppelin's Stairway To Heaven. On this site you can dowload the lttle backward snippete with the supposed backwards messages & also snippetes of the bit in the song in foward or you can click on the spoilers which tell you what it's supposed to say in reverse. There's intentional backmasking & unintentional. Madonna's Like A Prayer is meant to be unintentional. Thakfully common sense & science prevailed & the courts & experts deemed backmasking & subliminals as being ineffective & having close to no effect. That site is hours of fun & laughs check it out & check out the messageboard on there.

Life is a mystery, everyone must stand aloneI hear you call my nameAnd it feels like home

Chorus:

When you call my name itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s like a little prayerIÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m down on my knees, I wanna take you thereIn the midnight hour I can feel your powerJust like a prayer you know IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ll take you there

I hear your voice, itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s like an angel sighingI have no choice, I hear your voiceFeels like flyingI close my eyes, oh God I think IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m fallingOut of the sky, I close my eyesHeaven help me

(chorus)

Like a child you whisper softly to meYouÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re in control just like a childNow IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m dancingItÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s like a dream, no end and no beginningYouÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re here with me, itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s like a dreamLet the choir sing

(chorus)

Just like a prayer, your voice can take me thereJust like a muse to me, you are a mysteryJust like a dream, you are not what you seemJust like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there

Just like a prayer, IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ll take you thereItÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s like a dream to me

The lyrics to me sound like she wants to give a guy a good time and give him pleasure but I could be wrong you know. ;D
